4 Big Benefits of Selling Your House to a Cash House Buyer

4 Big Benefits of Selling Your House to a Cash House Buyer

Selling real estate with an agent could make sense in most scenarios. If you’re selling a property that needs repairs, are going through probate or foreclosure, inherited a property, or just need to sell fast, selling your home for cash to a real estate investor can be an ideal way to go.

There can be a lot of wild cards in the traditional selling process, but selling to an investor can help you save lots of time and money. Here are 4 big benefits of selling your house to a real estate investor you might not have considered.

Bypass a Bunch of Fees

There are obvious fees that you avoid when you choose not to list with a real estate agent such as real estate commissions (about 5-6%), escrow fees, title fees, and repairs. There are also less obvious ones such as seller concessions, in which the buyer asks the seller to contribute towards their closing costs or mortgage application fees, or to provide down payment assistance. This can be very expensive.

You can also be thrown other curve balls such as a low appraisal, which can end up costing you up to 5%. A real estate investor buys your house for cash as-is, so there’s no banks involved and no red tape.

Save Time, Which is Money

Selling your house through a real estate agent can take anywhere from three months to up to a year, depending on the location of your property and the market conditions. Conventional financing, seller concessions and repair requestions, as well as escrow can often waylay the closing process.

When things get delayed costs pile up such as months of mortgage payments, insurance, HOA fees, property taxes, and utilities. If you have fees from the city for code violations those too can amass. So can things like late tax fees and late mortgage fees. When you sell your home to a real estate investor you can typically close in 7 – 30 days.

Avoid Costly Repairs

When selling a home through a real estate agent you often deal with nit-picky buyers who ask for repairs. There’s also the possibility of falling out of escrow due to lenders wanting the property in good shape.

Things like replacing electrical or plumbing, mold remediation, repairing AC or HVAC units, foundation issues, or roof repair can be very expensive. With a real estate investor, you can sell your house as-is. They handle all of the repairs for you.

Get a Flexible Timeline

Real estate cash buyers are typically flexible on the terms of an agreement. You often have more control over your closing and moving date. And many are willing to do things like lease your house back to you for a month until you find a place or work around your tenants.

So if you want to save money, avoid fiascos, and sell your home the fast and stress-free way, having a real estate investor buy your house for cash is often the preferred way to go.

Here are just a few seller stories…

They were wonderful to work with! I could not of pick a better company to work with. I live in Idaho so it was a long distance [sale] and Adam helped us so much. He was always keeping me informed of what was going on, he even helped me with getting my tenants out and also helping my tenants relocate. I would use them again in a heart beat.

We have sold two properties to Quick Home Offers California this year dealing mostly with Adam Justiniano. Adam is very easy to deal with and he has been honest and prompt every step of the way. Both property sales went through quick and easy. The first property sold in February of 2016 and I waited to do this review until after I was sure they would take good care of the tenants I left with the property. Adam and team kept their word on that. My tenants were very apprehensive about having new landlord and were afraid of evictions or rent hikes. Adam and his partners have been good to my tenants. So when it came time to sale our last rental property, we called Adam again.

What do you think we did well? It was simple and easy and your offer came in higher than competing offers.Tell us about your situation and how we helped... We did not have the time nor could exert the effort to do the renovations to get the property up to speed to rent or sell. You gave us an offer... that seemed fair. We knew you would make some money on it but we did not have the hassle and my time is valuable elsewhere.Greg Wisniew of Bakersfield CA

What do you think we did well: Everything!!! From the moment we were in contact with Adam things went smooth, quick and very professional.Tell us about your situation and how we helped: Adam was compassionate, and was very sensitive to our situation.

Made a very difficult time in my families life a little easier. – Brandy of Alameda, CA
